Audio-specific issues
examples of audio-specific issues
noise
distortion
echo
feedback
audio latency
channel imbalance
connectivity issues
phase issues
Unwanted sounds that interfere with the desired audio signal, such as background noise,hum, hiss, or electrical interference
Noise
Any alteration or deviation from the original audio signal, resulting in a loss of clarity, fidelity, or accuracy.
Distortion
common type of distortion
clipping, overdrive, or saturation.
A high-pitched squealing or ringing sound caused by a loop between a microphone and a speaker.
feedback
The delay between an audio signal being generated or inputted and its playback or output.
audio latency
Unequal volume levels or frequency response between the left and right
audio channels, resulting in an unbalanced or skewed sound image
Channel Imbalance
Problems related to the connection or compatibility of audio devices, such as cables, connectors, or drivers, which can lead to audio dropouts, intermittent signal, or no
sound at all.
connectivity issues
When audio signals from different sources or microphones are out of phase, it can cause cancellations or comb-filtering, resulting in a hollow or unnatural sound
